One obvious problem with creating this early feature is the lack of official spec. I think the most official artefact we have for this feature is the explainer on openui.org, which is what I've used for now, but which breaks the build. |

This link should be updated to https://open-ui.org/components/customizableselect/

Isn't this the same link that's already there in the file?

@ddbeck I think we should merge this pretty much as is, allowing the OpenUI explainer URL. Customizable select has been in the works for many years, it needs to exist on our repo. We can use this as a guinea pig for early features if we want. |

Is there a good issue or PR to link to that would prompt us to remove this exception? Basically, I want to know where to look when we have "real" spec links to replace this with.
Something like this?

There are multiple PRs, not just one. See my previous comment: #2301 (comment)
Out of those, I'm guessing it would be enough to link to the following ones:
whatwg/html#10586
whatwg/html#10629
whatwg/html#10633
@josepharhar are you able to help select one (or more, but ideally a small number) spec PR that would basically signify "that's it, customizable select is now in the spec"?
Superseded by web-platform-dx#2301
* Remove selectlist feature Superseded by #2301 * Remove scroll-marker draft This looks premature, particularly without a process for early features.
Customizable select has been in discussions and in various states of prototypes for a few years already. It's feeling like the proposal is stabilizing now, and the feature has reached WHATWG stage 2 (soon stage 3). See this developer.chrome.com blog about it.
We've talked about how some (most?) features might need to get created early in the making, and I wanted to see what it felt like for this one.
@SachaG had asked for it in the past, in order to be able to link to it from State of HTML, where it's mentioned.
